About

Hello, I'm Aditi.

I'm a fashion designer with two years of hands-on experience turning fabric into stories — sometimes stitched, sometimes digitised, sometimes dotted one drop of paint at a time.

My work blends creative design with technical precision: surface embroidery like zardozi and aari, digital sketching in Illustrator, Photoshop and CLO 3D, and a growing love for slow, sustainable processes.

Away from the cutting table I paint dot mandalas and devotional art — Krishna, Ganesha, Durga — thousands of hand-placed dots on wood, glass and fabric. Each piece is made slowly, the way I believe good design should be: effortless to look at, with a lot of thread, ctrl+z and coffee behind it.

Still learning, always designing — one stitch (or dot) at a time.

Philosophy

How I work

Creative process

Creative process

Every design begins with a story — art, architecture, music, the sea. Sketches become swatches, swatches become silhouettes.

Honest materials

Honest materials

Responsibly sourced fabrics, archival papers and paints chosen to last, so every piece ages beautifully.

Made by hand

Made by hand

Hand-stitched details, hand-placed dots, meticulous finishing. No two pieces are ever quite the same.
